forum reply bug since upgrade

[slag]

Used to be the cursor would jump to the message text box so you could immediately start writing when replying to a thread, but now it jumps to the message title. this is very very annoying. Most people dont change the message title--they just reply to the current thread.

But wait, it gets better

If I click reply to a thread then click the message text field to move the focus from the message title to text field, I can start to write a word or two and then the cursor magically jumps back to the message title field and I've started writing before the text that was already there.

big big big bug.

so, it takes yet another click for me to move the mouse focus BACK to the message field so I can continue writing what I started.

It didnt use to do this before.

Can we get it changed back please.

Thanks

Slag

Are you sure you posted this on the correct forum because there is no "message title field" when i reply to a thread, it is ONE field and that is the text box, that is where the cursor is at when i hit reply.

Answered here.

from Jason Clark "You're probably in threading mode. Profile -- personal options change Default Topic Mode to linear. "

If you're in linear mode, you don't get the title box so you can start typing immediately in the text box.

that did it, thanks

I looked but did not see that question and answer before I posted. Wish my profile and settings would have stayed the same during the forum upgrade. I don't think thats too much to ask.
